The competent and successful practitioner must therefore have a good background in basic pharmacology, be knowledgeable of pharmacotherapeutics, and keep abreast of the latest advances in medicinal agents. PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to review pharmacologic properties of prototype and new drugs that are particularly useful for operative procedures and treatment of the oral cavity. The information presented should enable clinicians to improve clinical outcomes and make a more knowledgeable assessment and comparison of standard drugs with recently released drugs.
